The '''Heldrake''' is a type of flying [[Daemon Engine]] employed by [[Chaos Space Marine]]s. A blasphemous fusion of man, machine, and [[daemon]], these fell creatures of [[Chaos]] have enormous wingspans that make them even larger then [[Stormraven Gunship]]s. Once fighter aircraft flown by noble [[Space Marine]]s, these have since been mutated by the powers of the [[Warp]] into something far more hideous. Their original pilots are still inside, fused to their machines for eternity, and it is their anguish and hate that powers adds to the feeling of "wrongness" that a Heldrake gives. After centuries of gradually fusing to their machine and becoming overcome by the [[Daemon]] that inhabits it, in the end the pilot is only a fetal ball that burns deep within the core of the aircraft.{{Fn|3}}
